I'm looking for one, I can afford a brand new truck if I wanted but I need a truck for a backup work truck and local personal vehicle, something i can make a project out of, imo these trucks are classics now.
I just got done doing all my frame repair and cab mount repair for my 98. Getting it painted right now. 308,000 miles and going strong. They sure don't make em like they used to
I just replace the carpet and seats,and paint the all interior plastics on mine,new transmission and rebuilt the motor🤑,i jus need change the front end,i spend my savings but they worth
I would take this truck over a 2015 and up they don’t make them like that anymore don’t get me wrong I love looking at the new trucks(just looking) but dependability, cheap easy to work on. It only makes sense in between 92 in 1999. I would definitely have one if I could find one in good shape.
I had this one's twin brother. Same color and all. Bought it 8-2001, 35,000 miles. Finally traded it in 4-2015. 246.900 miles.The only vehicle I owned in my entire 30's. lol and I got my moneys worth in those 13+ years. Original motor, and never had any issues. Radiator and A/C compressor were the only 2 major components I had to replace twice. Sure do miss those 350 engines.
I’ve got the identical truck. In the same shape as this one and it just turned 105,000 miles. These tricks are virtually extinct. I’m so glad I purchased it as the second owner in 2004.
This is one of my favorite trucks! I also like the 2006 Silverados before they went to the newer body styles and crappy AFM engines. I would buy either one in a heartbeat if you had one in this type of condition.
I have a 1994 Z71 that I purchased original brand new I now have 450,000 miles original engine and transmission I've towed boats, I'm a contractor I've hauled many heavy loads, it is phenomenal the best truck I've ever owned. the five 5.7 is Bulletproof.....
Looks like my 98 Chevy Silverado when I bought it used in 2000 with 32,000 miles on it. I still have the truck it's my daily driver it's only got 130,000 miles because I've been lucky enough to live 5 miles from my job and my hunting and fishing spots are not that far. It doesn't look as clean of corse but it will start up every time you turn the key. I love that truck I even drive it more than the black 2017 Chevy Silverado crew cab Z71 I bought at the beginning of the year.
I've owned 7 of these trucks from Scottsdale, 1500 w/t, Cheyenne, and 4 Silverados all from 91 to 98, I absolutely love these trucks my neighbor own one just like this truck it a 97 single cab 6.5 bed GM will never make trucks like these one again. Beautiful truck this one is.
Saw plenty 88-98 Silverados get rod knock, blow transmissions, rear ends, etc. Love the styling though. I'd take that truck and swap in a 6.0 LQ4 and a 4L80 trans. Throw in a 12-bolt for good measure. Bulletproof drive train.
94 chevy. Also no rusted panels anywhere (truck has been up north with salted snowy roads since 94). Surprises me to see most all these trucks are so rusted
This truck is awesome very very clean you don't find them like this no more you'll find gold before you find this truck and this conditions I'm pretty sure they're pricey though
we're did you get new factory rims? I own the exact same truck 98 Z71 and im thinking of compley restoring it back to Chevy OEM specs other then dual exhaust.
That's a mint 90s Chevy them 88-98 Chevy's in that shape have went for as high as $15 000 in my area. I would like to own that one it looks like it was in a time capsule from 98.
You forgot to what you are starting with price on your Chevy Z71 98 pickup? It would be nice to idea of around ? Thanks it’s a great truck , I have one of right now! Mine is getting a little bit OLD for Minnesota winter still running great it was a GM motor replaced.
How do you get the 285/75/16’s to fit without rubbing. I have a 95 Sierra and tire shops tell me 265/75/16’s are as big as I can go. Do you have a lift kit?
The only thing is I would change out are the rims from the 2000-2006 Silverados and those stupid BF Goodrich tires for the Handcook Dynapro TM 265/75r16 tires (which I find to be the best tires on these GMT400 trucks as they are the only tires I run on my 1997 Suburban).
Are these New Old Stock Wheels or refurbished wheels and if so where did you get them. I'm concerned that refurbished wheels if remachined may result in the center caps protruding? These look great
I bought a set of refurbished wheels last year for my 98, and there is no difference I could see between new and refurbed. My refurbs even have that original brushed metal finish to them. hubcaphaven.com
A friend of mine in Florida has a burgandy one like this, the whole rocker panel under the super cab part is rotted away but it has over 300,000 miles on the original 5.7 vortec, now pretty much everything else has had to be replaced including the rear end but it had a lot of miles before the trans and rear end went, th GMT400 platform is well documented to be pretty rock solid for this era of GM. The only reason ford outsells chevy is fleet sales and cheaper price,its not as if the Ford is not as good its just that GM trucks are more t buy ,even expensive for used ones, you cant get any chevy of this series running and driving for under 2 grand here in North Carolina and if its 4 wheel drive tack on another grand and thats needeing tires and other things like fogged over headlights broken door handles leaking oil cooler lines ect.My Brother has a 96 Suburban with almost half a million miles on it, he says a new suburban like his is 70 grand so he bought a new grill painted it and spent 2200 on the transmission and 1800 on the rear end which wss a posi traction unit, next is the worn out leather seats exceeding the book value of the vehicle but what can you do? you have to drive something and he uses it for his home maintenance bussiness in Heavy traffic Orlando Florida
I prefer the 88-94 for simplicity. But the dash is nicer on the 95 up. These were zero doubt better than the 07+ but I still wouldn't mind to have a 09-13. Probably won't. I'll probably buy a 2011+ Ford instead of anything newer than 99 Chevy/GMC unless I can find a low mileage well-maintained ~04 GMC Sierra 4.8 4x4 with a "buy me price" like I got the current 90's model. Not likely. But it does happen with cash.
Those are stains lol the suede does changhe in effect but you can tell because ones a light grey and the others a darker grey . Those stains have a brownish hue to the them. You can see it on the carpet asleep, side of the driver .
My favorite generation Silverado.
Devin Morrison 2018 and I too love this truck
not my favorite body style, '78 is my favorite. These are reliable as fuck though and just all around great.
Same with the gmt400
Devin Morrison me too

Like a rock, OH LIKE A ROCK!
I’d be too scared to drive this truck. It’s so clean that one little dent or scratch would would upset me.
Blake’s 66 Chevy 😅 I have one and I accidentally got a huge scratch and dent on the back. I cried. I really did. But it’s a truck.
ha
Even though its a work truck, its still a pain to see a scratch on such beauties

I love the nostalgia lookin at these vehicles , just makes me feel like a little boy again receiving nothing for Christmas but just always what if .
One of my favorite trucks! We had a Red 96. Unfortunately, it had a decent amount of undercarriage rust, etc, so we sold it. Absolutely miss it!
I owned this exact truck. I was the 2nd owner. Even had the 285 BFGs. Traded in on a brand new 2005 cat eye.
The only thing I would change about this truck is I would give it dual exhaust.
The single 3" works good for the factory engine specs.
Taking off the intake resonator box helps it sound better
Christopher Walker Arabs low key thinking u guys don’t know crap about cars..
I’d get the windows tinted, new wheels, dual exhaust, and a 2 in lift

I have a black one in the same shape, I'm the 2nd owner, my grandpa bought it new. Just over 100k miles as of October 2017.
Shawn May haha my grandpa has the same exact truck as you
I have a 95 with 122k original miles.

Wish my 97 k1500 was this clean damn this is a nice truck. Clean as a whistle.
Man that is a good-looking truck. I like it better than my 2006 GMC
Got a 98 Cheyenne ext cab. 350 vortec with a 5 speed. My favorite truck by far.

Absolutely beautiful
Where did y’all get the new rear bumper i see that it doesn’t have the extra trim on the sides I’ve been looking for on like that to restore my 98
Beautiful truck, lots of detail given to this thing, but after all that work, how you leave a tail pipe looking that way is beyond me.
Love it !!!!!!
Great video.. I subscribed.. love the details!!

my favorite generation GM truck body i have a 94 gmc and i love it so much i gave it a name haha
Good job
Congratuletions
I thought I'd never see a c/k without rusted cab corners, let alone in _literally_ mint condition
Jack Duno my 94 Sierra doesn't have rusted out cab corners
94 chevy. Also no rusted panels anywhere (truck has been up north with salted snowy roads since 94). Surprises me to see most all these trucks are so rusted
In eastern Kentucky they are all rusted out.
Beautiful!
I have a '94 white regular cab 4X4 with 120,000 that looks this good, I'll never sell it, EVER! :)
